WOW! Sire of TWINS! And two of his 2024 crias HAVE COLOR! This handsome male checks all the boxes! Hailing from the high desert of Oregon, Royal comes from the elite Flying Dutchman herd. He stayed in breeder and AOA judge Amanda V’s sire lineup for several years, where he put three crias on the ground and was a featured sire on the 2021 EWD pen sale website, but she offered him to us at the 2022 EWD event, in hopes that we can use him more. We are in honored to have him in our herd. Royal has a lovely fleece for an older male with a uniform character, soft handle, and a good staple length; he had enough staple length at 9 YEARS OLD that he could still go to a show! I double checked his staple length because I just did not believe it! Whenever I have him caught, I just can’t help but feel his fiber; it’s soft and inviting to run my hands over, like feeling a thick, warm blanket or gorgeous sweater. He slipped from the top 5% EPDs in 2021 to the top 10% for 2023, but he can still benefit a lot of females out there, and he has two full sisters still in the top 1%. Looking at his histogram, for an 8+ year old male, it’s pretty good…and I bet he was very, very good when he was young, which is how he stayed at FDA until he was 8 years old. Amanda doesn’t keep many that long. His 2024 fleece placed third at the National IFA show. We adore his bold personality; he’s absolutely fearless over obstacles. We can point him at any obstacle or situation and he handles it with aplomb. He finished 6th in his very first show over obstacles! Amanda characterized him as “just cool” and she is not wrong. He’s a ton of fun. Colton and I both handle him with ease, and he is happy to wear costumes, hats, and other ridiculousness for our amusement. Royal can be a little difficult with some of our other males at times, but he knows he is royalty and thinks the rest should know it too! Royal has a solid strong physique with correct conformation. He offers bone, depth, and breadth to lines that may need a little more capacity. I can think of several popular east coast lines that would benefit from his solidity. 10% of all stud fees will be donated to Quechua Benefit, a cause near and dear to our hearts here at HCF. We will also be saving to send Gavin to judging school when he is old enough. NOW is your chance to get some of these elite genetics in your herd before anyone else has them! This is the only active breeding male with these genetics in the US outside of FDA at this time. Jump on this price before it goes up!

I co-own this lovely lady with colleagues Drs. Ed and Ruthann McCaslin. We are looking forward to doing some linebreeding with her back to Caligula and PCA Accoyo El Niño, as she is a Michelangelo granddaughter. I love her big rangy body style and her striking gray color, with that gorgeous silver gray base. I’d like to see some more density, coverage, and style to her fiber, as well as a more correct bite, and hopefully the Rembrandts can add that for us! She produced a BIG girl for us May 2024 after pairing with FDA Bold Ruler’s Somethingroyal, a cria with a brilliant fawn fleece that improved on Finale’s and a good deal of presence and style! Finale has been a terrific mother to her cria, producing plenty of milk. We had to skip breeding her in 2024, but hope to breed her in spring 2025.
